The one book I that I was missing and I found it! This time new adventures, plants, a garden, and more~

As I said in the review for the Kitty and The Twilight Trouble book (posted yesterday), it is always a surprise in which language I can read the book! This time I read the book in Dutch as they didn’t have the book in English! No matter, the translation is pretty well done so I don’t mind. I am just very happy I can read more of Kitty’s adventures!

In this book Kitty is growing a sunflower and thinking of a superb plan for the school’s garden (which gave me nostalgia moments as I remembered back in elementary we also worked in the school’s garden for a while, which was tons of fun, or at least I remember it is as fun, but it’s been years, who knows XD). Thankfully, Pixie has a great idea to help Kitty with thinking of a fun plan and she takes her to a special places. A sky garden! I just loved the descriptions of the garden and thanks to that and the illustrations I could just envision myself there. Enjoying the gorgeousness of the garden and the view beyond that.

I am terribly sad that Pixie once again didn’t think and just blabbed her mouth. I mean really, I get that you want to tell cats about this wonderful place, but maybe should have asked Kitty or Graver. I am still saddened by the other book I read earlier (Twilight Trouble) in which she was also a handful. It seems that Pixie just cannot understand things.

I just loved meeting Graver (not sure about the English name so I will use the Dutch one. It is so fun to see more cats of this city and I loved how enthusiastic he was about the garden and his sweet owner. He looked so much fun with a big patch over his eyes and his stripy tail in 4 colours!

I wasn’t a fan of the group of cats, however it seemed that mostly they were manipulated by one cat, called in Dutch, Hertog. I wasn’t a fan of him. And I wasn’t a fan of the ending which, as we say in Dutch, was just way too zoetsappig for me. It just felt fake and really like, OH YES, this is a children’s book we have to end it with love and friendliness. It just fit didn’t with the cat’s personality and I would have rather seen him act like he did all the time. That would have fitted just a bit more.

I still think it is funny that the book is all in black/orange but then you get descriptions such as this: “big blue eyes” or “a fluffy white cat with green eyes”.

But all in all, I really enjoyed this book and I would have loved to really visit this gorgeous garden. And if I find some pots that I can recycle… well I may just take that idea as well! Don’t forget to drill holes in the bottom though so the water can get out and doesn’t drown the roots.
